Nairobi National Park
Hifadhi ya Taifa ya Nairobi
Nairobi National Park, located just a short drive from the bustling city center of Nairobi, Kenya, is a unique wildlife sanctuary that offers a striking juxtaposition of urban and natural landscapes. Established in 1946, it was Kenya's first national park and spans approximately 117 square kilometers. The park is home to a wide variety of wildlife including lions, leopards, cheetahs, giraffes, zebras, and over 400 species of birds. One of its most notable features is the backdrop of Nairobi's skyline, which provides a surreal experience as you observe wildlife against the urban setting. The park also plays a crucial role in conservation and is home to the David Sheldrick Wildlife Trust, which focuses on the rescue and rehabilitation of orphaned elephants.
